Words are good, but there is something better. The best cannot be explained by words. The spirit in which we act is the chief matter. Action can only be only understood and represented by the spirit.

The best benefit we derive from history is the enthusiasm it excites.

What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.

The flowers of life are but illusions. How many fade away and leave no trace.

They should be ashamed of themselves, all these sober people!

We should know mankind better if we were not so anxious to resemble one another.

Duty is the demand of the hour.
